What Others Say
Works fast and accurate
I don't usually write reviews, but Handy House is great. I bought the Polder thermometer for my boyfriend (who is a chef) for christmas. He was tired of using the manual ones that you need to calibrate in ice water. The one button calibration is very convenient. The meat temp guide that comes with it doesn't match the temp he uses, but he still loved how it worked. I was happy it got here on time. I will definantly buy Polder 371 Quick Tip Instant Read Thermometer, Black again, if needed, and probably from Handy House.
Great little instant thermometer!
This is a great and inexpensive thermometer for any kitchen! Easy to use, easy to read. I highly recommend it!
Hot little item
I have never had a digital thermometer. I was very pleased with the accuracy and speed that the readout gave. My wife overcooks everything. Thankfully, she can now see the temperture of the food and serve it just right.
Polder Instant read Thermometer
This thermometer is a very good value, it gives a fast but not instant temp. reading, I'm satisfied.
Kitchen workhorse
I work in a professional kitchen with a large banquet facility. I bought this item from Amazon July 07 and was very happy with it. After only a month it fell into the fryer and warped the outer case, but it kept working well! I got six or seven months of really great use out of this item, even after rescuing it from the fryer, before the coating on the tip finally cracked off and the thermo stopped working correctly. Granted, I am in a VERY busy kitchen and it gets a lot of heavy use. For a home Chef I can't imagine having a similar issue. A great and hearty item! I'd give it five stars if I didn't need more than 2 a year...
